And no doubt the phrase ‘for your convenience’ would have been used in the notification.

Rail replacement busses. Especially ones that aren't announced until a few days before.

WCMO is rail replacement buses with only ONE door at the front. It always takes ages for passengers to disembark at the single door before the new passengers can even get on.

Probably going to have to stump up for a much more expensive uber now, and both ways

With the amount of works on the Gippsland line, I tend to think we occasionally get bus replacement trains!

Typical that the one time all year that I need PT and it's not available in an acceptable manner

CBA Comminsure (Holland Ins).

Waiting 5 days so far to get broken glass replaced on car. After four calls and >90mins on phone being transferred back and forth between departments and OBriens the contractor “we think we have got things sorted - hopefully somebody will call you by Thursday night to tell you when you can have your car fixed”

$100 a day for hire car, 5 days so far, zero idea of how long before fixed

Well they have not done it.
Its still $2.50 all day all week on the Opal network

Umm, wasn't VPS talking about Adelaide public transport being made free after promise, not Sydney?

Amusing that with 50c fares in BNE, quite a few fare dodgers still caught and fined. Excellent.

People who get the bus for only one or two stops. They waste their time and money (if they bother paying) to go ~300 meters up the road while wasting everyone else's time (as the bus often wouldn't have needed to stop twice without them).

These people spend 5-10 mins waiting for the bus, then 2 minutes on the bus, to go a 5 minute walk away. If they had just walked in the first place, they would have gotten to where they were going before the bus even arrived.

Some days walking just a few hundred metres is a burden. Hard to put one foot in front of the other foot and so on.

They say walking is easy. Not always that easy in my shoes. I don't give up easily but some days it's just too much and I've been known to take the car to the mall which is ~500 metres away. On days where I walk I may end up stopping and having a break 2-3 times.

Sad and makes you want to cry thinking about it.

Solution seems to be to sling a golf bag over your shoulder as a walking aid?

It's a legal requirement for them to do so.

So even clicking on a page from the home page, same domain etc, needs an approve? Jeez. Aussie websites don't do that.

You only need to set once then a cookie will remember the setting. If you've opened multiple pages from the same site without doing 1 page and setting cookies first then it will open on each one.

Aussie data protection laws are not as far advanced or robust as things like GDPR, so I'm not too surprised.

No. Only if they are trying to steal your personal data. No need for it actually.

Not the site that I was using when I posted my cheese. Each time I clicked on one of their page links within their site I had to approve the cookies. The 'accept cookies' has been around a while but not like this one.

In the UK, not everywhere.

But Google is getting rid of cookies altogether in its browser by end of the year.
